We work directly with owners/developers, architects and contractors, providing full structural engineering services for residential, light commercial and industrial construction throughout the state of Maine.
Today's residential designs are becoming increasingly complex with custom requirements such as open-living spaces, overhanging balconies, and complex roof lines. Historic typical construction methodology does not necessarily apply to these new designs. Our team of structural engineers works with homeowners, architects, and contractors to achieve the desired architectural features and space requirements while also assuring proper structural performance.
As businesses and industries expand, develop, and change use, the building infrastructure often requires structural upgrade, retrofit and/or expansion. Whether you are changing from retail to restaurant or upgrading industrial floor capacities, we are prepared to assist you in developing efficient solutions to your engineering needs. We work directly with facility owners, architects and contractors to ensure proper designs for your specific applications.
We are pleased to work directly with owners at any stage during the design process. We perform structural assessments of existing buildings, provide structural evaluations of existing conditions/capacities, and investigate the feasibility of renovation ideas. We also conduct building inspections of residential and commercial facilities to provide prospective owners with a review of the structural condition and considerations for a particular building. » Visit our Homeowner services page
We provide full engineering support to architects in varying capacities aimed to meet your individual needs. We provide services ranging from engineering review of structural drawings developed by your in-house designers, to full construction document development with framing plans and details to accompany your architectural drawing set. We also perform construction administration services and field inspections. Working together with us, you and your client have enhanced resources and assurance throughout the design and construction phases.
As designs become more complex there may be parts of a structure which require analysis, design and/or detailing beyond the capacity of your crew. Whether you need simple beam sizings or complex steel detailing, we will work with you to develop buildable solutions which meet your client's design goals.
I have had numerous opportunities to work with Gartley & Dorsky Engineering & Surveying, on projects for Cianbro Corporation, and have found working with them to be a positive experience. These collaborative projects have been wide-ranging, and include structural analysis, storm water runoff surveys, and design for hanging platforms, new buildings, monorails, lifting beams and drainage systems. Gartley & Dorsky not only provided the agreed-to services, but always did so promptly. They were always willing to help and quickly responded to all requests, making it effortless to work with them. The cooperation and professionalism of Gartley & Dorsky and its staff contributed to a very successful and rewarding experience for Cianbro. Cianbro looks forward to having the opportunity to work with them in the future.
